When it comes to U.S. states, Queen Elizabeth plays favorites, although certainly not with California. Kate and William enjoy personal holidays to the Caribbean island of Mustique. Charles and Camilla are known to frequent the Greek island of Corfu (via Good Housekeeping). But unlike her offspring, Queen Elizabeth II has non-tropical vacation goals. Yes, that rules out Hawaii. And while, per AP, Her Majesty has set foot in Chicago, Jamestown, New York City, and Washington D.C., the queen’s favorite state is neither Illinois, nor Virginia, nor New York. Far from it.
Instead, when Queen Elizabeth prepares to travel on her own time, no doubt packing her favorite Earl Gray tea, and (as reported in The Telegraph via Today) barley sugar to combat jet lag, she often heads to a state with a climate as gray as Great Britain’s. Publishers Weekly reports that Queen Elizabeth has visited Kentucky five times on unofficial business since ascending to the throne. With an average temperature of 55 degrees Fahrenheit, you can bet it’s not to work on her royal tan (via Britannica).
